Re: OT: I am just not interested in the BCS title game

I haven't even watched a game since I was at WVU's bowl game. I could care less honestly. Nothing really excited me this year.

but you went to all the way to a bowl game but flipping a game on is boring?

I can dig it.

WVU was in the bowl game. WVU isn't on TV. I usually don't even have the TV turned on in the evenings. If I am watching anything its on my computer. So I don't keep up with who is playing at what time other than WVU and Steelers.

Re: OT: I am just not interested in the BCS title game

The BCS is killing college football. They really need to go to a playoff system! They say that they don't want the regular season to be meaningless but all the bowl games that have been played the last couple weeks are meaningless. It just kills me that teams like USC and Utah don't get a chance at the national championship because computers and people don't feel like they are worthy of a spot in the game.....what a joke?!?!? I think they need to go to a 16 team playoff where all the conference champions (no matter what conference) get a spot in the playoffs. Then the remaining spots would be filled by at-large teams. So you would have 11 conference champions and 5 at-large teams! Notre Dame since they are the spoiled ones, errrr an independent, would get an automatic bid if they were ranked above 12 in the AP rankings at the end of the year!

This year the seeding would look something like this:

1 - Oklahoma
16 - Troy

8 - Cincinnati
9 - Boise State

4 - Penn State
13 - Virginia Tech

5 - Utah
12 - Texas Tech*

3 - USC
14 - Georgia*

6 - Texas*
11 - TCU

7 - Alabama*
10 - Ohio State*

2 - Florida
15 - Buffalo

* indicates at-large teams

This scenario gives every team in the country a chance at the national title. If you win your conference then you are in. For the bigger conference teams they get a chance to win a national title with an at-large bid, if they show they are worthy of being in the tournament. The tournament would be played over a four week period spanning December and January....heck we're stuck watching crap bowl games for the long anyway. They could start the season sooner, say last week in August....remove one of the regular season games since it is usually a useless mismatch anyway and let the kids decide their fate on the field. The early round games could be played on Friday night and Saturday, so not to conflict with the NFL. This is a much better system, in my opinion, than what is currently deciding such a big part of sports in our country.

That looks good, but you left out Notre Dame.

Re: OT: I am just not interested in the BCS title game

sounds good as far as the top 16 but I think the top 12 with the top 4 getting a bye would work better...

that way 11 champs get in and the top indie team gets in.... it would force ND to either get in the big 10 or never smell a playoff ever again. I hate'em...

any way... I really don't want to see Troy or 4 SEC teams in a playoff.. every year the SEC claims 3 teams who are BCS title contenders...and 2 of them end up getting blown out in their bowl against "so-called" lesser competition.

Only the winner of the conference should be able to compete for the BCS title IMO...
